2018 Indian Scout Bobber in pictures: India-bound model fully revealed ahead of launch; Price, specs and features

The Indian Scout Bobber takes its design inspiration from its elder Scout cousins. The body work is minimalistic that offer a raw and rugged look, hence doing justice with the ‘Bobber’ nomenclature. The motorcycle has been assisted with chopped-off front and rear fenders and comes drenched in an all black theme that lend a sporty and premium appeal. The Scout Bobber is clearly the most mean-looking motorcycle from the company’s line up till date. Our sources close to the development have revealed us that the 2018 Indian Scout Bobber will be launched in India at a starting price of Rs 13.09 lakh (ex-showroom, Ahmedabad).

The Indian Scout Bobber gets its power from a 1131cc, twin cylinder engine that comes mated to a six-speed gearbox. The liquid-cooled, fuel injected motor is good for churning out respective power and torque outputs of 99 hp and 98 Nm. Expect this engine to come with big fat torque low down in the rev range.

The Indian Scout Bobber will be brought to Indian shores through the Completely Built Unit (CBU) route. The motorcycle challenges the likes of Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber, Triumph Bonneville Bobber and Harley-Davidson Forty Eight.

The front section of the Indian Scout Bobber gets a rounded headlamp that is a typical characteristic of such motorcycles. The unit is enclosed in a matte black headlamp casing very neatly. The cruiser also gets bar end mirrors that further add to its charm.

The instrument cluster of the Indian Scout Bobber is a digital analog unit just like the Scout Sixty. The LCD screen shows rev counter, tripmeter, fuel gauge, odometer and gear position. Besides, the unit also gets several warning lights like that of ABS, high beam, turning winkers and engine malfunction.

The key hole of the Indian Scout Bobber is placed on the side, just like the company’s other models. The fuel tank of the motorcycle gets ‘Indian Scout’ lettering integrated in a 3D fashion. When it comes to colours, the bike is expected to land on Indian soil in two shades of black and silver.
